Aired: Friday August 20, 1971 (The 100th Episode! WooHoo!)
After a replay of Thursday's close, as the doorknob continues to turn, Julia quickly snaps Vicky out of her hypnotic state and then the doors open. It's Harrison, who says hello. He sees Julia is still dangling the medallion and remarks on what "an interesting piece" it is. Julia says "Oh yes, I was just showing it to Vicky." Harrison pours himself a drink and continues "So, Dr. Hoffman. Are you examining Miss Winters to make sure she is all right? When I found her she was certainly in a frightful state." Julia answers that Vicky seems "perfectly fine" only that "some of her memories may be repressed." Harrison is interested in this, and grows more interested when Julia coyly adds "But of course, there are always scientific ways to recover such memories." All Harrison can say is "Well, I wish you success in that, doctor." Julia thanks him adding that she's sure she will be successful. Harrison asks Julia if psychology is her "field of expertise," and Julia says that she has been clinically trained. "A very interesting field of study," Harrison adds. "especially when dealing with abnormal behavior, I suppose." Julia asks Harrison what he means, and he says "Oh, I was just thinking out loud. I was just assuming that the most interesting cases for a clinical psychologist would be of erratic or unpredictable behavior, violent mood swings or changes in personality. Something with mystery attached. Have you had experience in dealing with such things, Doctor?" Julia says she has, but wonders what Harrison's agenda is. "How do you spot the warning signs of, say, a radical change in personality?" he asks. Julia says there really aren't any warning signs. Vicky says she's starting to remember something. Julia turns away from Harrison and asks what, and Vicky adds "what he was saying about personalities suddenly changing....for some reason, I remember Peter....Peter was changing! He was acting differently! Why, Julia, Why?" Julia has no answer.
Julia returns to the old house and Barnabas asks her how things went with Vicky. She tells him that Vicky was remembering "exactly how she arrived" when Harrison entered the drawing room and forced Julia to bring Vicky out of her trance. "Harrison!" Barnabas exclaims. "We must find a way to work around him. I know he is responsible for Vicky's return. I am sure of it!" Julia says that may be true, but adds "Why, Barnabas? Why would he bring her back here? She's a stranger to him, he doesn't even know her. He doesn't even show any interest in her now that she IS here!" Barnabas replies "Harrison has an attraction for Angelique. Somehow he found out how much I once cared for Vicky. Assuming he has the power to manipulate time, it would make perfect sense!" Julia answers "Barnabas, that's an enormous assumption." Barnabas reminds her of what Willie saw Harrison do, adding "it must be some fantastic plan of his to try to lure me away from Angelique! There's no other answer! But he is in for a rude surprise! He does not know her as well as I do, nor does he know me." Julia thinks a moment and then asks Barnabas "If Harrison has that kind of power, and he has a desire to lure Angelique away from you, could it mean that he's connected in some way to Nicholas Blair? Barnabas, perhaps that's what Sarah was warning me about!" Barnabas looks frightened.
Vicky is standing by the fountain when Harrison comes by. He asks her how she is feeling, and she says she is feeling fine, though she's still frustrated over not remembering everything. "Well, at least you remember how you feel about everyone here," he says. She smiles and says how good the Collins family has always been to her. "I understand you were especially close to Barnabas. I hope you weren't too hurt to find him married," Harrison adds. Vicky replies "Oh, no, no. I'm very happy for Barnabas. He always seemed so alone, sometimes even lost in his surroundings." Harrison answers "He's very eccentric, isn't he?" Vicky smiles and says "Yes, but I always found that to be what makes him so charming." Harrison remarks that "most of the eccentric people I've met often have violent tempers for some reason." Vicky shakes her head and says "Oh, not Barnabas! He's very kind and understanding... I don't think I've ever seen him lose his temper with anyone." Harrison looks puzzled by this, and Vicky adds "I'm sorry to have ruined your theory about eccentric people." Harrison smiles and says "Oh, don't worry about that. I'm sure you know Barnabas and everyone here better than I do. I've only been here a short time." Vicky adds "Well, I'm glad you are. You'll get to know everyone better in time, and then you'll really feel like a part of this branch of the family." Harrison smiles and says "Perhaps, yes, perhaps I will." Barnabas arrives outside the fountain, and says hello to Vicky graciously with a gruffer hello to Harrison. Barnabas asks Vicky if Julia has been any help in "getting her memory back" but Vicky says "not really." Harrison butts in "I know you want to remember what happened to you, Miss Winters, but don't you think at some point you must simply accept things and be happy that you are back, safe, among people who care for you?" Barnabas glares at Harrison a moment, but then adds "He may be right, Vicky. You may want to be thankful to be back among the people who love you." Vicky looks at Barnabas with a smile on the word "love" and Harrison thinks to himself "Well, that struck a nerve....keep turning on that charm, Barnabas. You may well take care of things for me after all....."
Barnabas has escorted Vicky back into the house where Liz and Alan are sitting in the drawing room. Vicky is discussing how Harrison was right, and how she should concentrate on simply being happy since she's back at Collinwood. "I almost feel the way I did when I first left the foundling home and first came here," she adds. Alan perks up and says "Foundling home?" Vicky answers meekly "Yes, I was an orphan. I came here at Mrs. Stoddard's request some years ago to look after David." Alan says "Oh, I'm sorry. When did you lose your parents, if you don't mind my asking?" Vicky answers "I never knew them" and Liz cuts her off by asking Barnabas if he wants a drink. He says no, and that he should be getting back to the old house. Alan asks Liz "How did you find out about Miss Winters as a possible governess?" Liz says "Oh, it was so long ago. I'd have to look through old references, it's not important anyway. Vicky did a wonderful job with David." Barnabas starts to leave, and Liz asks him if he would like to bring Angelique over for dinner. He says he'll have to ask her, and as Liz tries to keep him in the room, Barnabas manages to say goodbye and leave. Alan asks Vicky where the foundling home was, and as Vicky starts to give the details, Liz says she's feeling faint. Vicky asks her if she is all right, and Liz says she doesn't know, only that she was feeling lightheaded suddenly. Alan leads Liz to the couch and sits her down, and then asks Vicky to get some cold water from the kitchen. After she leaves, he closes the drawing room doors. He slowly walks to the couch and sits down next to Liz, saying "Are you feeling better now?" Liz says she's not sure. "Would you feel better if I didn't ask Vicky all those questions?" he adds. Liz looks at him and says "I don't know what you mean." Alan looks directly at her and says "I think you do. She is the image of how I remember you. Tell me the truth, Liz. Tell me the truth." Liz shudders.

Episode 1344
Aired: Thursday August 19, 1971
After a replay of Wednesday's close and the titles, Barnabas tells Harrison that he and Willie were merely arguing over how best to restore a room in the old house. "We won't be a moment," Barnabas adds, and Harrison goes back inside. Barnabas tells Willie to wait for him and Julia at the old house, adding "Don't tell anyone else what you saw." Willie asks Barnabas what is may mean again, and Barnabas says "I don't know. I only know that my suspicions about Harrison have been confirmed. He is clearly not the man he claims he is." We cut to Julia entering the old house and calling for Barnabas. When she finds no one home, she leaves and begins walking in the woods up to Collinwood. Suddenly, Sarah is standing before her. Julia gasps "Sarah!" Sarah looks her over and says "Hello. Were you looking for me?" Julia says "No, but I'm glad I found you." Sarah says "Why?" Julia says "Well, because I haven't seen you in so long. Neither has Barnabas...." but when Sarah hears "Barnabas" she starts to move away. Julia begs her to stop, and tells her "Barnabas wants to see you." Sarah sighs and says "There's someone who wants to hurt Barnabas. I don't know what to do." Julia is surprised to hear this.
Barnabas tells Angelique he doesn't know what could be keeping Julia. Angelique wonders if it matters at all now, since Vicky and everyone else has "retired for the night." Barnabas reminds her that they need to tell Julia about Vicky's memory. Julia arrives at Collinwood, and Barnabas asks her if they might go upstairs and see if Vicky is still awake. Julia tells him to wait a moment, and leads him and Angelique back into the drawing room. Angelique asks "What is it?" and Julia tells them she saw Sarah. "I think she meant to appear to me to warn me," Julia adds. Barnabas asks "Warn you? About what?" Julia says "She was warning me about you, Barnabas. She told me there's someone who wants to hurt you," while looking at Angelique. Barnabas says "Did she say who or why?" Julia says "No. And I only turned away from her for a second before she was gone. She didn't mention anyone, but she seemed convinced that you are in danger." Angelique says "And you suspect she means me? Isn't that it Julia? Barnabas snaps "Angelique!" and Julia says "I never said anything of the sort." Angelique says "But you were thinking it, admit it. At least be that honest with me." Julia sighs and says nothing. Barnabas says "Angelique is not a danger to me at all. Sarah must understand that or else she would have acted differently when she appeared to Angelique at the old house." Julia thinks that over and says "Who could it be, Barnabas? Who could be a danger to you? Barnabas answers "I have a good idea who it may be." Angelique says "You're thinking of Harrison, aren't you Barnabas?" Barnabas answers "Exactly. Willie told me something about him this evening that you both must hear. In fact, Julia, you need to hear this most of all." Julia says to Barnabas "I don't understand" (a good line when discussing Vicky) and Barnabas tells her "Victoria Winters has come back to this time. To Collinwood." Julia is shocked to hear this.
Julia says "How? How did she find her way back here? Barnabas, that makes no sense!" Barnabas answers "It may when you hear what Willie has to say. But in any case, she is back." Julia says "What does she remember? Does she remember that you once went back to 1795 to save her from the gallows? Barnabas, how much does she know about you?" Barnabas says "I'm not sure. That's why I need you, Julia. That's why we need you." Angelique says "I don't think she knows anything about Barnabas. She still thinks he's an English cousin. But she seems to recognize me, and that could be dangerous." Barnabas agrees, saying that if Vicky recognizes Angelique it could "create memories too difficult to explain." Barnabas looks at Julia and says "You'll need to make sure those memories don't return." Angelique says "Perhaps that's what Sarah meant when she said Barnabas was in danger. Perhaps that's why she appeared to you, Julia." Julia says "It's possible." Barnabas says "Perhaps, but I still prefer to think that Harrison is the logical choice." Angelique says "I admit he is mysterious, but why do you think he is evil?" Barnabas looks outside the room for a moment, and then closes the doors. "Willie told me something fantastic," Barnabas begins. "From what I can figure out, Harrison has a great deal of power, centered in that jeweled ring on his hand." Julia asks "What kind of power?" Barnabas continues "Willie claims he saw him open up some kind of portal with it. He opened up a portal where Willie saw the old house." Julia asks "Do you think he can manipulate time and space at will? Barnabas, that's preposterous!" Barnabas snaps "Is it? Didn't Quentin manage the very same thing back in 1840? What if he inherited that knowledge somehow, from that branch of the family? Who can tell?" Angelique is deep in thought about this as Julia asks "Even if that is true, how do you know he wants to use this power to harm you somehow?" As Barnabas and Julia talk back and forth, Angelique thinks to herself "So that is Harrison's secret. Precisely what Nicholas would want to know. How should I deal with this?" Barnabas says "Do you think Vicky's return was a coincidence?" Angelique starts paying attention again as Barnabas continues "Yes Julia. I think Harrison is responsible for Vicky being back here. I only need to find out why he has plucked her from the past somehow." Angelique thinks about this.
The next morning, Vicky enters the drawing room and finds Julia. Julia hugs her hello, and tells her that she is so happy to hear she is back. "Barnabas told me about your return last night, I'm sorry I got here too late to see you." Vicky says that's all right, she suddenly got very tired and needed to sleep. "I can imagine, after what you've been through," Julia says. Vicky laughs a little and says "That's what's funny, I don't really remember what I've been through. Well, only bits and pieces, I guess." Julia takes out her medallion and starts to twinkle it in Vicky's eye. "What do you remember, Vicky?" she says. Vicky says she's not sure, and Julia tells her to concentrate on the medallion, to watch its colors and lights. After a moment, Vicky is under, and Julia says "Vicky, I want you to tell me everything you remember happening before you arrived back here." Vicky suddenly gets very scared and says "They're coming after me! I must run away! I must run and hide from them!" Julia says "Who?" and Vicky only says "All of them! They kept Peter from me and I've got to run away! But there's nowhere to go....there's only the cliff....the beach below.....oh no I'm falling! I'm falling off the cliff!" Julia considers this a moment and then asks "What happened after you fell off the cliff?" Vicky says "He caught me somehow. He caught me in his arms! How did he do that? Where did he even come from? I was falling!" Julia asks "Who?" and Vicky keeps saying how "he caught me" as the doorknob of the drawing room begins to turn. Julia looks at it and is not thrilled.
After a replay of Wednesday's close and the titles, Barnabas tells Harrison that he and Willie were merely arguing over how best to restore a room in the old house.

Episode 1343
Aired: Wednesday August 18, 1971
We see a replay of Tuesday's close, only this time when Angelique snaps the branch, she suddenly sees Nicholas standing before her. "What are you doing here?" she says angrily. He smiles at her and quips "Now, now, my dear. Let's just say I heard you call."
After the titles, Barnabas and Vicky arrive at Collinwood, and Barnabas says hello to Liz and Alan. He asks them where Julia is, and Liz tells him that Julia had gone to visit Professor Stokes and should be back soon. She invites Barnabas and Vicky in, and asks Barnabas why he didn't bring Angelique. "She went out a while ago, I think she may have gone into town," he says. Liz tells Vicky how nice Angelique is and how she should meet her. Vicky says there's still something familiar about that name. Barnabas tells Liz that he was hoping Julia could help Vicky recover parts of her memory "so that we might have some answers as to how she returned to us." Alan asks how much experience Julia has had with restoring memory, and Liz tells Alan "Dr. Hoffman is an excellent doctor and psychologist. I'm sure she's had plenty of experience." Barnabas agrees, telling Alan that "Julia is one of the people I trust the most with concerns such as these." Liz pours some drinks for everyone while they wait for Julia. Alan says "I'd like to talk to Julia about her methods in this area. There's a lot of things I'd like to know about Vicky as well." Barnabas wonders what this means.
Nicholas is walking circles around Angelique in the woods. He asks her how Victoria Winters has returned "to this time, when she was destined to be destroyed in the past." Angelique says she has no idea, she only just saw Vicky and Barnabas walking in the woods. "Ah...walking together...I see your husband hasn't wasted any time in rekindling his relationship with Miss Winters," Nicholas says. Angelique snaps "He is rekindling nothing! You know little of Barnabas, Nicholas. You don't know him as well as I do." "Don't I?" Nicholas says with a chuckle. "This wouldn't be the first time he's forgotten you in the arms of another woman....another innocent, raven haired beauty.....another Josette.." "Stop it!" Angelique yells. Nicholas laughs. "Now, now, my dear, I was only joking," he says. Angelique scowls at him and demands that he get out of her way, but he grabs her by the shoulders. "What would you do right now if you still had your powers?" he asks her bluntly. She pulls away from him and says "We shall not discuss that." Nicholas looks at her and says "Oh no? Isn't that what you really want to discuss? You could have your powers back so easily, my dear. And then I'm sure you'd find ways to get your Barnabas back." Angelique forms a smile and says "What makes you think I've lost him? Get out of my way." She brushes Nicholas aside and begins to head towards Collinwood. Nicholas sneers at her.
Barnabas and company are finishing their drinks when Angelique enters. Vicky sees her and seems to recognize her, but Angelique immediately says "Barnabas! Willie told me an old friend of yours has returned... this must be her." Angelique walks right over to Vicky and says "I'm Angelique Collins, Barnabas' new wife. You must be Miss Winters. I'm so pleased to make your acquaintance." Vicky nervously says hello and that she is also pleased to meet Angelique, but keeps looking at Angelique as if she recognizes her a little. "Is anything wrong?" Angelique says. "Oh, nothing...." Vicky says. "You just seem to remind me of someone...." Liz chimes in with "Yes, Vicky. I thought the same thing when I first met Angelique over a year ago." "Over a year ago?" Vicky asks. "Yes," says Liz. "There was something about Angelique that reminded me of Cassandra, but somehow after getting to know her, I just can't see it anymore." Angelique laughs a little and says "Thank you, Elizabeth. From what Barnabas has told me about Cassandra, I'd hate to be associated with her." Angelique turns to Barnabas and takes his arm tightly and says "Barnabas! Why didn't you leave me a note that you had come up to Collinwood with your friend?" Barnabas loosens her grip and apologizes for letting it slip his mind. Alan invites Angelique to stay and wait for Julia along with everyone else, but Barnabas says "Will you excuse us both for a moment, please?" and leads Angelique out of the drawing room, closing the doors behind him. He gives her a little glare, and then says "You certainly handled yourself well seeing Vicky again." She snaps "And it seems you've handled Vicky's return quite well yourself, Barnabas." Angelique turns away from him, and he says in exasperation "Can you put aside your jealousy for one moment? I had to lead her back here. I had to bring her to Julia before her memory of the past made sense to her. Otherwise, our secret could be exposed!" Angelique thinks a moment, but then says "Is that the only reason you didn't wait for me and walked her here?" He says yes, and turns her around to face him. "You are all I want, " he says to her. "I don't know what more I can do to convince you of that. Julia can help us by hypnotizing her and suppressing any dangerous memories. That is why I brought her here." Angelique looks at Barnabas sadly and asks "Can I trust you, Barnabas? Can I trust you not to leave me again?" He hugs her and says "Yes. Forever." We pan up from the foyer to see Harrison standing atop the stairs glaring down at Barnabas and Angelique.
Harrison comes downstairs clearing his throat, which ends the hug. "I heard Elizabeth and Alan were back," he says. "Are they in the drawing room?" Barnabas says yes, but adds "I understand you were the one who found Victoria Winters in the woods." Harrison says yes, and that she was in "a very bad state, wearing strange old clothes. I hope she'll be all right." Barnabas says that she'll be "fine now" adding "it was certainly fortunate that you found her in the woods as you did." Harrison simply says "Yes, I suppose it was. But then again, I suppose she could have been anyone who was lost for all I knew." He excuses himself and opens the doors to the drawing room. He says hello to Liz and Alan and asks Vicky if she is all right. Vicky says she is fine as Barnabas and Angelique enter the drawing room as well. "It must feel wonderful to be back here with everyone who knows you," Harrison says to Vicky. She says "It feels like home again. I'm happy to be back. I only wish I could remember more." Alan tells her that it should come back to her "in time." There's a knock at the door, and Barnabas goes to answer it. It's Willie, who tells Barnabas to come outside quickly. Barnabas takes a quick look back at the crowd in the drawing room, and then steps outside with Willie. "What is so important Willie?" he asks. Willie tells him "I gotta tell ya about Harrison! He's got some weird power, Barnabas! He has this ring, see...and he talks to it!" Barnabas angrily says "Willie! You're not making any sense again! Get to the point!" Willie answers "Okay, okay. He opened up some kind of hole... I followed him to the basement. He talked to his ring, and then in the middle of the room, there was your house, Barnabas! Only it looked brand new! Right there in the middle of the room, like a picture just floatin' there....what could that mean, Barnabas? What could it mean?" Barnabas thinks about the meaning of this when the front door opens, and it's Harrison. "Excuse me," he says. "We were wondering what was going on out here." Willie looks at Harrison terrified while Barnabas tries to think of an answer.
We see a replay of Tuesday's close, only this time when Angelique snaps the branch, she suddenly sees Nicholas standing before her. "What are you doing here?" she says angrily. He smiles at her and quips "Now, now, my dear. Let's just say I heard you call."

From what Barnabas has told me about Cassandra, I'd hate to be associated with her." Angelique turns to Barnabas and takes his arm tightly and says "Barnabas! Why didn't you leave me a note that you had come up to Collinwood with your friend?" Barnabas loosens her grip and apologizes for letting it slip his mind. Alan invites Angelique to stay and wait for Julia along with everyone else, but Barnabas says "Will you excuse us both for a moment, please?" and leads Angelique out of the drawing room, closing the doors behind him. He gives her a little glare, and then says "You certainly handled yourself well seeing Vicky again." She snaps "And it seems you've handled Vicky's return quite well yourself, Barnabas." Angelique turns away from him, and he says in exasperation "Can you put aside your jealousy for one moment? I had to lead her back here. I had to bring her to Julia before her memory of the past made sense to her. Otherwise, our secret could be exposed!" Angelique thinks a moment, but then says "Is that the only reason you didn't wait for me and walked her here?" He says yes, and turns her around to face him. "You are all I want, " he says to her. "I don't know what more I can do to convince you of that. Julia can help us by hypnotizing her and suppressing any dangerous memories. That is why I brought her here." Angelique looks at Barnabas sadly and asks "Can I trust you, Barnabas? Can I trust you not to leave me again?" He hugs her and says "Yes. Forever." We pan up from the foyer to see Harrison standing atop the stairs glaring down at Barnabas and Angelique.
Harrison comes downstairs clearing his throat, which ends the hug. "I heard Elizabeth and Alan were back," he says. "Are they in the drawing room?" Barnabas says yes, but adds "I understand you were the one who found Victoria Winters in the woods." Harrison says yes, and that she was in "a very bad state, wearing strange old clothes. I hope she'll be all right." Barnabas says that she'll be "fine now" adding "it was certainly fortunate that you found her in the woods as you did." Harrison simply says "Yes, I suppose it was. But then again, I suppose she could have been anyone who was lost for all I knew." He excuses himself and opens the doors to the drawing room. He says hello to Liz and Alan and asks Vicky if she is all right. Vicky says she is fine as Barnabas and Angelique enter the drawing room as well. "It must feel wonderful to be back here with everyone who knows you," Harrison says to Vicky. She says "It feels like home again. I'm happy to be back. I only wish I could remember more." Alan tells her that it should come back to her "in time." There's a knock at the door, and Barnabas goes to answer it. It's Willie, who tells Barnabas to come outside quickly. Barnabas takes a quick look back at the crowd in the drawing room, and then steps outside with Willie. "What is so important Willie?" he asks. Willie tells him "I gotta tell ya about Harrison! He's got some weird power, Barnabas! He has this ring, see...and he talks to it!" Barnabas angrily says "Willie! You're not making any sense again! Get to the point!" Willie answers "Okay, okay. He opened up some kind of hole... I followed him to the basement. He talked to his ring, and then in the middle of the room, there was your house, Barnabas! Only it looked brand new! Right there in the middle of the room, like a picture just floatin' there....what could that mean, Barnabas? What could it mean?" Barnabas thinks about the meaning of this when the front door opens, and it's Harrison. "Excuse me," he says. "We were wondering what was going on out here." Willie looks at Harrison terrified while Barnabas tries to think of an answer.

Episode 1342
Aired: Tuesday August 17, 1971
Liz and Alan enter the house and are hanging up their coats as Carolyn comes downstairs. Carolyn tells Liz "you won't believe what has happened!" Liz wonders what it can be, and Carolyn tells her that it will make her very happy. Alan says "by all means tell us both then!" Carolyn says that it will be better to show them, and Vicky comes through the doors and begins to walk down the stairs. Liz gasps in disbelief, and says "Vicky!" Vicky says hello while Alan looks on.
After the titles, Liz says she can't believe it's Vicky, but Vicky says "it's really me" and the two hug. Vicky looks at Alan and says "Hello, you must be Alan" and shakes his hand. He says "Yes, I'm Doctor Alan Slater. I guess you've heard about me, but I know nothing of you, Miss....." Carolyn says "This is Vicky, she was governess here some years ago. She.....left for a while, but now she is back." Liz looks at Vicky and says "How? How did you find your way back?" Alan is confused over this question, and Vicky answers "I'm not sure, Mrs. Stoddard. But I am back, and hopefully, you'll let me stay." Liz gives her another hug and says "Of course! Of course I will... there's so much that's happened here, there's so much for you to catch up on." They all go into the drawing room as Carolyn says "Well, she's met Quentin and Daphne, mother." Liz says "Yes, Quentin came to us a couple of years ago and we adore him. Also Vicky, you should know that I was quite ill for a while, but thanks to Alan I am now perfectly fine." Carolyn chimes in with "Actually, mother has known Alan for a long time. Alan used to live here at Collinwood many years ago." Liz says "You make me sound so old, Carolyn." Carolyn says she didn't mean it that way. Liz asks Carolyn if Barnabas knows Vicky is back, and Vicky says "Oh, yes, I would so much like to see Barnabas!" Carolyn looks at Liz and says "I haven't told her yet." Vicky wonders what this means.
Liz tells Carolyn that "Vicky should know, you know how she feels about Barnabas." Vicky asks what is wrong, and Liz takes Vicky to the couch and sits her down. "There's nothing wrong, Vicky. It's just that...in the time you've been gone, Barnabas has.....well....." as Liz hems and haws, Vicky asks Carolyn what it is. Carolyn says "Mother, we have to tell her." Liz sighs, and says "Vicky, Barnabas is married now. He was married recently in a lovely wedding at the old house." Vicky has mixed feelings about this, and says "Married? Oh....oh, Mrs. Stoddard, you didn't have to be afraid to tell me. I'm very happy for Barnabas. He always seemed so lonely in a way." After a beat, Vicky suddenly asks "Was it Julia? Did he marry Julia Hoffman? It seemed the two of them were inseparable sometimes." Carolyn says "No, he married a women he knew in England years ago. Her name is Angelique. She's very nice..." Vicky goes into a panic and says "Angelique! No! It's can't be! It can't be Angelique!" Liz asks Vicky what's wrong, and Vicky suddenly snaps out of it and says "I don't know. I don't know why I had that reaction." Liz asks Vicky why she got so upset, and Vicky says there was something about "that name" that frightened her. Vicky says she must go to the old house and see Barnabas. Vicky puts on her coat and leaves while Liz wonders aloud why Vicky was suddenly so upset. Carolyn says perhaps it's because she still loves Barnabas, and Alan looks at Liz and says "I think you need to tell me much more about this Vicky Winters." Liz weighs this idea. Meanwhile at the old house, Barnabas is sitting and reading when Willie arrives, frantic. He runs to Barnabas and tells him "I gotta talk to ya! I gotta talk to ya right now!" Barnabas tells Willie to calm down. Willie says "Where's Angelique? Is she here?" Barnabas says no, that Angelique went out for a little while. Willie starts to agonize over "I can't believe what he can do. It's gotta be him! He's gotta be the one who did it!" Barnabas says "Willie, what are you talking about? You're not making any sense!" Willie says "Harrison! Harrison, Barnabas! He's got powers, he got...." but before he can finish, there's a knock at the door. Barnabas opens the door and sees Vicky. "Hello, Barnabas," she says. "Vicky!" he gasps in amazement.
Vicky enters the old house and Barnabas asks her how she came back. "I saw you fade into the past," he says, "with Peter Bradford." Vicky says she knows, but cannot remember anything too clearly "other than waking up in the woods and being found by Harrison." "Harrison!" Barnabas says. "Yes, your cousin from New York. He's quite charming. He found me in the woods and took me back to Collinwood." "I see," Barnabas says, leading Vicky inside. "Willie, is that what you were trying to tell me just now? That Harrison found Vicky in the woods?" Willie nervously says yes, and Barnabas smiles at him and simply says "Thank you, Willie. If you could leave us alone now. But we shall talk later." Willie calms himself a little and says "Okay, Barnabas. Whatever you say" before leaving. "Vicky, I'm so pleased to see you back! I was so worried after you disappeared. None of us thought we'd ever see you again," Barnabas says. "I don't remember too much of what happened to me in the past, Barnabas. I only remember bits and pieces of things....of Peter Bradford, of the Collinsport jail (or gaol, if you must).... I also remember knowing your ancestor," Vicky says. Barnabas gets nervous, but Vicky continues "He was very much like you, Barnabas. He was kind and very considerate to me." She starts to remember more and continues "Everyone thought he had died of some fever, but he didn't.... he saved Peter and me." Vicky laughs a bit and Barnabas asks her what is amusing. Vicky answers "Well, your ancestor. If he had died of a fever and not survived and gone to England, how would you be here?" Barnabas smiles and says "That's very true." "Carolyn told me you were married now, Barnabas." Vicky continues. Barnabas answers "Yes. I'm also very happy." Vicky forces a smile and says she's happy for Barnabas too, and adds "But there's something I don't understand. Your wife's name is Angelique. Why do I know that name, Barnabas?" Barnabas doesn't like this question.
"I have no idea," Barnabas says. "Perhaps you knew someone else with that name." Vicky says that might be it, and then looks around commenting on how much she missed the old house. "You are always welcome here," Barnabas says. "Have you met everyone new to Collinwood as well?" She says yes, and that they're very nice. "I suppose all that's left is for me to meet Angelique." Barnabas gets a little more nervous and forces a smile, saying "Yes, I suppose there is." He adds "Actually, I was about to go to Collinwood to find Julia. Can I walk you back there?" Vicky says thank you, and the two leave. Barnabas and Vicky walk through the woods, and Vicky stops a moment and starts to remember running through the woods, away from her pursuers. Barnabas asks her how much she remembers from the past, and in frustration, Vicky says "I can't put it all together! It's all fragmented!" Barnabas puts his hand on her shoulder and tells her that it will be all right, "perhaps Dr. Hoffman can help you recover your memory." Vicky asks if he really things so, and he says they should go to Collinwood and find out. They walk away together smiling, and then from behind them, walking quietly in the woods, is Angelique. We hear her thinking "Victoria Winters! It really is you! How did you ever find your way back here.... and back to my husband?" She takes another step, and picks up a branch from the ground. She says aloud with a snarl "Hear me, Victoria Winters. You will never take my husband from me. Never!" while snapping the branch in her hands.
Liz and Alan enter the house and are hanging up their coats as Carolyn comes downstairs. Carolyn tells Liz "you won't believe what has happened!" Liz wonders what it can be, and Carolyn tells her that it will make her very happy. Alan says "by all means tell us both then!" Carolyn says that it will be better to show them, and Vicky comes through the doors and begins to walk down the stairs. Liz gasps in disbelief, and says "Vicky!" Vicky says hello while Alan looks on.

Episode 1341
Aired: Monday August 16, 1971
Alexandra Moltke's voiceover: "My name is Victoria Winters. There are many who would not believe my story, but I have once again found myself at Collinwood after a journey into the past...a journey I only have scraps of memories from. Vague recollections of a man I believe I once loved, and of a life I cannot fully comprehend. My strongest memories are of Collinwood and of the Collins family I once knew, of Roger, Elizabeth, Carolyn, David....and Barnabas. But now I find myself with a mysterious man who calls himself Harrison Collins....."
In the woods, Harrison is shaking Vicky awake to revive her. She suddenly comes alive, looking around frantically and saying "No! I must run! They'll capture me otherwise!" Harrison answers "Calm down, please. No one is trying to capture you." She asks him who he is, and he introduces himself as Harrison Collins. "Harrison Collins? I don't know a Harrison Collins....but your clothes..." she says as she starts to handle his cuff "...your clothes are twentieth century. Where am I?" Harrison Answers "You're on the grounds of Collinwood, Miss....?" She answers "Victoria Winters. This may sound like a strange question, but what year is this?" Harrison smiles and says "1971, Miss Winters. You may want to dress more twentieth century yourself." Vicky replies "I don't remember how I got here...I was running, I thought I fell.....and then I was here." Harrison smiles at this prospect, but then looks more concerned when Vicky adds "But somehow, I seem to remember you!"
After the titles, Harrison is helping Vicky back into Collinwood. He starts to take her into the drawing room where Carolyn is sitting. She is shocked to see Vicky and asks Harrison where he found her. "I was walking in the woods when I came upon her, unconscious. I revived her and she said her name was Victoria Winters." Carolyn remarks how amazing it is that Vicky has returned "right after we were discussing what had happened to her." Harrison remarks on what a coincidence that certainly is. Vicky recognizes Carolyn and the two hug each other. Carolyn asks Vicky how much she remembers, and Vicky answers that she cannot remember anything too clearly other than living at Collinwood and taking care of David. Carolyn assures her that little by little her memory will return. "But Harrison told me this is 1971," Vicky adds. "I've been gone for almost three years. Yes, three years..." Carolyn tells her that yes, that's true, but "it shouldn't be that big of an adjustment for you. After all, you're home now." Vicky smiles, as does Harrison.
Vicky is now dressed in 20th century clothes in the drawing room. Carolyn thanks Harrison for finding Vicky's trunk in the basement "so that she can look more normal." Carolyn remarks that "perhaps wearing your real clothes will help you gain your memory back." Vicky remarks that she's not sure why she had found herself in the past, but she thinks it had something to do with a man she loved. Carolyn says yes, and tries to coax the answer out of her, but finally gets frustrated and tells her about Peter Bradford. Vicky says she remembers the name Peter, but little else except a feeling that she was in great danger in the past. Carolyn replies how she used to think it was "actually romantic, in a way, how your love had transported you back in time." Harrison muses that "perhaps it was love that brought you back as well." After a strange look from Carolyn, Harrison finishes "The love of the family, of course. I was recently told how much they missed you." Carolyn smiles and remarks how much everyone has missed her, and how happy everyone will be to see her again. "There are also some new people at Collinwood you'll want to meet," Carolyn adds. "Cousin Harrison has arrived recently from New York." Harrison answers "I'm very happy to meet you, Miss Winters. I can't wait to see how happy the Collinses will be to see you again" with a sly smile.
Quentin and Daphne come downstairs, and Quentin first sees Vicky and says "Oh, hello...I didn't mean to intrude on you and your friend, Carolyn..." before Carolyn tells him who Vicky is. Quentin is surprised to see her "considering what I've heard about you." Vicky says she can't really believe it herself, and Quentin is introduced as another long lost cousin. Daphne says hello and tells Vicky "I am the governess here now, well...I guess I was the governess with David off a boarding school for the next few weeks." Vicky says hello, but seems to have mixed feelings on someone else having her job, and at the prospect of David growing up. Quentin asks Vicky how she "got back here" and Vicky says she isn't sure, "I remember waking up in the woods, and Harrison finding me." "Really?" Quentin says, looking Harrison over. Harrison remarks how he was walking in the woods when he saw Vicky lying unconscious. Quentin says "That's quite a remarkable coincidence, considering you only learned of Vicky's existence a short time ago." Harrison smiles and glibly answers "I'm sure stranger things have happened at Collinwood." Carolyn answers "They certainly have!" Quentin looks at Harrison suspiciously.
Vicky is taking the clothes from her trunk and hanging them in a closet in her room when Quentin enters. He asks her if she wants any help or if there are "any other old trunks of yours in the basement." She says no and thanks. She asks Quentin when he arrived at Collinwood, and he answers "Oh, a little more than a year ago. I had been traveling for some years before that when I remembered I had distant family here." Vicky answers that it's funny how people always seem to think they're only visiting Collinwood and then wind up staying. "Well, the place certainly seems to keep drawing you back," Quentin says. He walks around a bit before asking "Do you remember anything about what happened before Harrison found you?" Vicky thinks a moment, and answers that she only remembers "being in terrible danger. I remember running in the woods, away from someone. It was someone who wanted to hurt me, but I don't know why." Quentin tells her to go on, and she strains at more memories. "I remember getting to a cliff...." she says. Quentin asks "Were they the woods around Collinwood?" Vicky answers "Yes! Yes! I remember more now! It was the cliff at Widow's Hill.... I had nowhere to go...and they were still after me." Quentin asks "Who were they?" Vicky shakes her head, and says "I don't know! I only remember falling...." Quentin says "You fell? From the cliff?" Vicky says "Yes. And then, the next thing I knew, I was waking up in the woods....but for some reason....oh, it's nothing." Quentin prods "No, tell me. I'm curious." Vicky laughs a little and says "For some reason, I think I felt Harrison catch me before I woke up! But that doesn't make any sense. It must be some sort of trick my memory is playing." Quentin thinks this over and says "Yes...that's what it must be." Carolyn enters the room and says "Vicky! I saw the car! Mother and Alan are pulling into the driveway! Come downstairs, quickly!" Vicky asks who Alan is, and Carolyn says with a smile "You'll see! Mother's happier than ever!" The two women leave while Quentin looks over the room and still thinks about how Vicky may have gotten there.

Vicky says "Yes. And then, the next thing I knew, I was waking up in the woods....but for some reason....oh, it's nothing." Quentin prods "No, tell me. I'm curious." Vicky laughs a little and says "For some reason, I think I felt Harrison catch me before I woke up! But that doesn't make any sense. It must be some sort of trick my memory is playing." Quentin thinks this over and says "Yes...that's what it must be." Carolyn enters the room and says "Vicky! I saw the car! Mother and Alan are pulling into the driveway! Come downstairs, quickly!" Vicky asks who Alan is, and Carolyn says with a smile "You'll see! Mother's happier than ever!" The two women leave while Quentin looks over the room and still thinks about how Vicky may have gotten there.

Episode 1340
Aired: Friday August 13, 1971 (uh oh....bad luck for someone!)
Grayson Hall's voiceover "A new day as dawned at Collinwood, and it will be a day for those who have left the great estate to return. But they will find some changes at the great house, including the presence of a mysterious cousin, who unbeknownst to those around him, commands powers beyond their imagination...."
Harrison comes down the stairs and takes a quick look in the drawing room. He sees it's empty, and then goes through the rear door to the kitchen. We pan over and see that Willie has watched him, and Willie follows him through the door. We cut to Quentin's 1840 lab where Harrison is coming down the stairs. He goes over to the planks left over from Quentin's staircase and places four of them in a square on the floor. He looks around the room a bit and then stands off to one side. Quietly, Willie opens the door and peeks at Harrison from the top of the stairs. Harrison stands before the plank square on the floor and raises his hand with the jeweled ring. "Show me...." he says, closing his eyes in concentration. The same whirring sound from Quentin's staircase is heard as the area above the plank square begins to ripple, and then the air above it turns black. Willie can't believe his eyes as the black fades to a view of the old house.... but the old house looks very new. Harrison sees this and smiles, but Willie is petrified.
After the titles, Barnabas and Julia enter the foyer of Collinwood. Liz comes in from the drawing room and gives Julia a hug. "I do hope you've changed your mind and will come back here," she says. Julia says "If that's okay with you, I would like to. Barnabas gave me a very persuasive argument." Liz says "Of course! I'll have Mrs. Johnson make up your old room," and invites them both into the drawing room. Willie comes out of the kitchen door, nervous and twitchy. He walks by the drawing room and Barnabas calls to him. Julia says hello to Willie and tells her that she's back, but while Willie says "Yeah? That's great, it's good to have ya back..." he's clearly distracted and nervous. Julia asks him if anything is wrong, and he lies "No, no, nothing. Nothing is wrong." Barnabas asks him if he's sure, and Willie says "Nothing! I.....I guess I'm just surprised to see Julia, that's all!" Suddenly from behind him, Harrison calls to Willie "Willie! Just the man I was looking for!" Willie looks at Harrison, terrified.
"Willie, what's wrong? You seem unnerved by something," Harrison continues, but then he sees Julia. "Oh, excuse me. I don't think we've met." Liz introduces Julia to Harrison, and after looking at Barnabas with a "is this him?" expression, Julia says hello. She asks Harrison how he likes Collinwood, and he tells her that he finds it "fascinating." Willie starts to slunk away, but Harrison calls to him "Willie, hold on. I need you for something." Willie nervously says "What?" Harrison says "You take care of the tool shed, am I right?" Willie says yeah, and Harrison says "You don't mind showing me where it is? I need a screwdriver to fix the lock on my trunk." Willie gasps some relief, and says "Oh, sure. It's just outside and around the corner to the right. You can't miss it!" Harrison says thanks, and Willie says "I gotta go, I guess I'll see ya later, Julia...." Barnabas says "Willie, was there something you wanted?" Willie says "No, nothing. I gotta go..." Willie quickly moves out the door, Harrison remarks "A strange man," and Liz tells Harrison "Don't worry about Mr. Loomis. He may act strange, but he's come quite a long way." Julia and Barnabas look at each other, wondering about Willie.
Willie enters the old house and finds Angelique after calling out for her. She asks him what is wrong, and he tells her that Harrison has "some sorta weird powers! I don't know what he did!" Angelique tells Willie to calm down and tell her. Willie recounts what he saw, and Angelique wonders what it could mean. "It's obvious he has powers of some sort," she says. "But what could he be after?" Willie says he doesn't trust Harrison, and "whatever he's after, it can't be any good!" Angelique says that they cannot know that for sure until they learn more about him. Willie says he's afraid to follow Harrison anymore. Angelique tells him that "that is your job." Barnabas and Julia enter the old house, and Willie clams up again. Angelique says "Willie, don't you need to bring more wood in for the fire?" and Willie leaves. Julia says hello to Angelique, and says that she has decided to move back into Collinwood. Angelique forces herself to say "That's wonderful. It will be wonderful to have you back here again." Julia tells Angelique that she knows Angelique isn't thrilled to have her back, but "I came back at Barnabas' request. I want to help you fight Nicholas Blair." Angelique looks at her, and asks how she could be of any help against "such a man," but Julia answers "I understand much of his powers, I must be able to help somehow. I'm willing to help, if you'll let me." Angelique softens a bit and says okay, adding "I know it isn't that easy for you to help me." "To help us," Barnabas says. Julia smiles.
Harrison comes back down the stairs to Quentin's 1840 lab carrying a rope. We hear him think "This rope I found in the tool shed should be strong enough... but what if the vortex window cuts it? I must take that chance. This may be the best way to accomplish what I must do..." He ties the rope securely around the railing of the stairs and gives it a tug to be sure. He loops the rest of it around his waist and ties it tightly. Harrison then adjusts the planks on the floor again, and stands before it raising his jeweled ring and saying "Show me....." as before. As he closes his eyes and concentrates, we see the air wiggle again, and then fade into the black void with the whirring sound. From out of the black, we suddenly see the old house looking new, but then we fade again to see the woods at night. Harrison opens his eyes and says "Show me....Victoria Winters...." Suddenly, we hear footsteps in the woods, running, along with the sounds of several people in pursuit. Then we see her - it's Vicky! (Alexandra Moltke, of course ;-) ) running through the woods in an 18th century dress, terrified. She calls out for Peter, but there is no answer. "They're coming for me! Peter! Help me!" she screams. Harrison watches this closely, and then we see that we are at Widow's Hill, with the waves crashing below. Vicky runs up to the edge, and we hear the sound of howling dogs behind her. "There's nowhere left to run!" a voice shouts at her. "No! No!" she yells back. "Let me go, please!" We see the waves crashing on the rocks below as we pull back to see Harrison checking the strength of the rope again. He starts to walk towards the image of the past. "You will die now, Victoria Winters!" the voice says as Vicky tries to step away from the cliff. She starts to slip and Harrison suddenly steps further into the image of the past. Vicky screams as she falls off the cliff, but suddenly, Harrison steps back, away from the image of the woods and back into Quentin's lab - and he has Vicky in his arms! He raises his ring and says "Return...." and the image fades away leaving just the planks on the floor. Vicky looks at Harrison and says "Who are you? How...how did I get....I don't understand!" and then faints in his arms. Harrison looks at her and says "It's all right, Victoria Winters. You are home now." He smiles confidently.

Episode 1339
Aired: Thursday August 12, 1971
Nicholas is smugly sitting in his living room sipping a drink when the doorbell rings. It's Angelique, and he invites her in. "So, have you come to tell me anything useful, or is this simply a social call?" he says. She tells him that "I will never be social with you, Nicholas. Everything we do is strictly a business arrangement." He leans in close and tells her "You've become so icy as a human, my dear. You haven't even considered the magnitude of what I have to offer you." She moves away from him and into the living room, where she sits down. "Then enlighten me," she says. Nicholas smiles.
After the titles, Nicholas asks first if she has found out anything about Harrison, and Angelique answers that "he's only a cousin of the family from New York. Why do you find him so intriguing?' Nicholas laughs and says "Ah, my dear, how naive you have become. I can tell when someone is not telling the truth, and Harrison Collins strikes me as a man with much to hide. I want to know why. And then, I want to know more about Barnabas Collins and how he rescued you from the past." Angelique insists that "that was not part of our bargain." Nicholas answers "Perhaps," and then leads Angelique to a mirror on the wall. "Look into this mirror. Look at yourself, Angelique. What do you see?" Angelique demands to know what he is up to, and Nicholas continues "You see a beautiful young woman who Barnabas Collins loves." Angelique smiles and says "Yes. Does that trouble you, Nicholas?" Nicholas answers "No. Does this trouble you?" Nicholas waves his hand over the mirror and Angelique's mirror image begins to age, first slowly, and then rapidly, as Angelique sees herself turn into an old hag. "See that, my dear?" Nicholas barks. "That is what awaits you. The ravages of age will destroy your beauty now that you are human!" Angelique tries to turn away from the mirror, but can't. "Stop it! Stop it!" she yells. "I'm not only offering you power, you little fool, I'm offering you an escape from becoming that!" Nicholas says, pointing at the mirror. "Will Barnabas still love you when you are that?" Angelique finally pulls away from the mirror and begins to cry. Nicholas looks at her and forms an evil smile. The doorbell rings again, and Nicholas is surprised. He walks over to the door, and in walks an angry Barnabas. "Barnabas! This is a surprise!" Nicholas says. Barnabas pushes him into the living room with his walking stick and angrily says "Blair! I want to know what you want with my wife!"
Nicholas steps aside and says he only wants to be friends with Angelique "and let bygones be bygones." Barnabas snaps "I'd be a fool to believe anything you say, Blair." He stands a still weeping Angelique up and asks her "What are you doing here?" She answers "Please don't be angry with me, Barnabas..." and Barnabas turns to Blair and says "What did you do to her? Or should I ask, what did you offer her?" Nicholas gets a little concerned, and Barnabas continues "Yes, offer her." Barnabas begins to walk circles around Nicholas as he continues "I know you too well, Blair. You want to bring Angelique back under your control for revenge, but unless she accepts of her own free will, you have no hold on her." Barnabas takes Angelique by her hand and begins to lead her out. "Don't trust anything he says, Angelique," Barnabas continues, before giving Nicholas a last snarl "Stay away from her, or I swear I will destroy you!" Barnabas and Angelique leave while Nicholas returns to his drink, thinking "No, no, Barnabas. It is I who will prevail this time. I've already sown the seeds of your destruction in your precious wife..."
Back at the old house, Barnabas wants to know what Nicholas offered Angelique. "How did he tempt you?" he says. Angelique is evasive, and only asks Barnabas if he loves her. "We have not seen Jeremiah in some time," Barnabas says. "Nicholas must have gotten a promise from you to send Jeremiah away. I must know what that was." Angelique says "I only did it to protect you, please, you've got to believe me!" Barnabas answers "How can I believe you when you won't tell me the whole truth?" Angelique says she could not, since she feared what Nicholas might do. "But he cannot control you unless he extends his power to you! Don't you remember what those powers did to you? They filled you with hate and jealousy. They led to nothing but destruction!" Angelique quietly says "They kept me beautiful..." Barnabas raises an eyebrow and says "Don't give into vanity, Angelique. You cannot!" Angelique says "I don't want to lose you, Barnabas." Barnabas tells her "You will not lose me unless you become part of Nicholas' evil again." Angelique holds onto Barnabas as he continues "We'll need help to fight him. I know who we need."
Barnabas is waiting in a reception area of sorts when a set of double doors opens and Julia comes out. He is at Windcliff. He asks her how she has been, and she answers fine, and asks him why he has come to see her. He first answers "Can't I simply stop by to be sociable?" She answers she doesn't see why not, and then he continues "Julia, we all miss you so much at Collinwood. I cannot hide my feelings." Julia perks up a bit and says "Your feelings?" but Barnabas continues "Yes, on how much everyone wants you back." Julia says "Oh...well, I do have my responsibilities here." Barnabas continues that "so much has happened" since she left, and starts to tell Julia about Daphne discovering her true identity. Julia gets interested, but then starts studying her charts again. Barnabas then says "A cousin from New York has arrived, a Harrison Collins. There's something strange about the man, however. He seems very secretive, and his attentions towards Angelique make me very uncomfortable." Julia is a little more interested, but then starts to write notes on a patient. "But the most important thing is the return of Nicholas Blair," Barnabas continues. "Nicholas?" Julia perks up. "He was dead! How did he come back?" Barnabas sighs and says that Nicholas' powers have made him "more than human." Julia asks if Nicholas has done anything threatening, and Barnabas answers "It was he who controlled Jeremiah. I think he is trying to bring Angelique under his control again. Julia, please. We need your help." Julia asks what could she do to fight someone like Nicholas, and Barnabas answers that she did it before, and "it seemed before that you were fearless in dealing with such things. Does anything here at Windcliff compare to what you experienced at Collinwood with me?" Julia looks at her charts and around her office, and suddenly a sparkle returns to her eyes as she looks at Barnabas and says "No. I doubt anyone has had experiences such as mine." Barnabas smiles and says "Does that mean you will come back with me?" Julia smiles and says "I suppose it does." They smile at each other.
Nicholas is smugly sitting in his living room sipping a drink when the doorbell rings. It's Angelique, and he invites her in. "So, have you come to tell me anything useful, or is this simply a social call?" he says. She tells him that "I will never be social with you, Nicholas.

Episode 1338
Aired: Wednesday August 11, 1971
After a replay of Tuesday's close and the titles, Quentin is reviving Daphne with a brandy. Daphne is frightened of what she has just learned about herself, but Quentin kisses her and says "You're still here. You're still real. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about." Stokes tells her that they've accomplished a lot for one night, and he will need to do some more research "since I know now what kind of spell we are dealing with." Carolyn asks Daphne if she is all right, and Daphne says she thinks she will be, but then turns to Carolyn and says "Tell me more about Victoria Winters."
The next morning, Harrison comes downstairs and finds Carolyn in the drawing room. He remarks that she looks "very tired" and Carolyn answers that she was up most of the night with Daphne. Harrison asks what's wrong, and Carolyn says "it's too unbelievable to explain." Harrison answers "I'm willing to believe anything after I've had my morning coffee. Shall I bring some in here for you as well?" Carolyn thanks him and says that would be good. As Harrison leaves to go towards the kitchen, Willie and Angelique arrive. Harrison says good morning to them, and asks Angelique what brings her around so early. She answers that she had come along with Willie to "get some things from the east wing that Barnabas needs to restore more of the old house." Harrison makes a remark about how in love with the past Barnabas is, and then leaves to get coffee for everyone. Angelique tells Willie "Now that I've established a reason for you to be here, I want you to keep an eye on him." Willie nervously answers that he doesn't know how Barnabas will feel about it, and Angelique snarls that "Barnabas is not to know. Do you understand? You are to tell me and me only whatever you find out about him." Willie nods, and the two of them join Carolyn in the drawing room.
Everyone is having coffee in the drawing room, and from Harrison's "What an amazing story. Will Daphne be all right?" we know that Carolyn has brought everyone up to date. Carolyn answers that she "hopes so" but that "hearing about Vicky has frightened Daphne." Willie nods agreement, remembering what happened. "Vicky was really nice, y' know?" he says. "I remember how heartbroken Barnabas was when she disappeared..." Angelique gives him a frown and he stops talking. Harrison, though, asks "Barnabas was heartbroken?" and before Angelique can try to control the conversation, Carolyn answers "Yes, he and Vicky were very close. He was very fond of her, I'd even dare say he loved her." She looks at Angelique and says "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say anything to hurt you." Angelique forces a smile and says "It's no matter. Whatever Barnabas felt for her is all in the past." "Literally," Harrison muses. "She returned with Bradford to the year 1795 as far as anyone can tell? It sounds like a romantic ending to me." Carolyn says "It wasn't, Harrison. Not if what we learned later was true." Harrison asks what that would be, and Carolyn answers "Somehow....for some reason, I know that she died in a fall off Widow's Hill....I'm not sure why I know that, but I just do." Harrison asks her how she knows that, and Carolyn says "maybe I don't know anything. It was only a fragment of a dream I had back when I was married to Jeb. It's nothing." Harrison pours her another cup of coffee and says "Perhaps if it was only a fragment of a dream, it cannot be trusted," he says. Carolyn asks what he means, and Harrison answers "Well, if this Vicky could cheat death at the hangman's noose once in 1795 as you told me, why not twice?" Carolyn answers that there's no way to know for sure, and Harrison shrugs and smiles mysteriously.
Angelique gives Willie a look to remind him to shadow Harrison and then says her goodbyes. Harrison remarks to Willie how the story of Vicky seemed to "arouse some jealousy" in Angelique. Willie says "I wouldn't know nothin' about that!" and Harrison answers that he would know about Vicky, though. "I felt it awkward to ask in front of Angelique, but did Barnabas really love her?" Willie answers "What difference does that make now?" and Harrison answers "None, I suppose, I'm just curious." Willie smiles and says "Curious, yeah, you're curious. You're curious about Angelique. Yeah, I see the way you look at her. You think she's pretty, don't ya? Beautiful even?" Harrison sternly answers "I'd have to be blind not to. But I'm actually more curious about Vicky Winters and what happened to her. I'm very interested in strange phenomena." Willie answers "Yeah, well there's no shortage of that around here, lemme tell ya!" and then continues "It was funny about Vicky. She loved the past so much, it's like it became a part of her. And then she just vanished back into it!" Harrison nods and says "She loved the past the way Barnabas does. That's why they were close." Willie looks at Harrison and snottily says "Why don't you just ask Barnabas?" before storming off. Harrison smiles as we hear him think "I won't need to ask Barnabas, Willie. I think I know all I need to know now...."
After a replay of Tuesday's close and the titles, Quentin is reviving Daphne with a brandy. Daphne is frightened of what she has just learned about herself, but Quentin kisses her and says "You're still here. You're still real. I'm sure there's nothing to worry about." Stokes tells her that they've accomplished a lot for one night, and he will need to do some more research "since I know now what kind of spell we are dealing with." Carolyn asks Daphne if she is all right, and Daphne says she thinks she will be, but then turns to Carolyn and says "Tell me more about Victoria Winters."
The next morning, Harrison comes downstairs and finds Carolyn in the drawing room. He remarks that she looks "very tired" and Carolyn answers that she was up most of the night with Daphne. Harrison asks what's wrong, and Carolyn says "it's too unbelievable to explain." Harrison answers "I'm willing to believe anything after I've had my morning coffee. Shall I bring some in here for you as well?" Carolyn thanks him and says that would be good. As Harrison leaves to go towards the kitchen, Willie and Angelique arrive. Harrison says good morning to them, and asks Angelique what brings her around so early. She answers that she had come along with Willie to "get some things from the east wing that Barnabas needs to restore more of the old house." Harrison makes a remark about how in love with the past Barnabas is, and then leaves to get coffee for everyone. Angelique tells Willie "Now that I've established a reason for you to be here, I want you to keep an eye on him." Willie nervously answers that he doesn't know how Barnabas will feel about it, and Angelique snarls that "Barnabas is not to know. Do you understand? You are to tell me and me only whatever you find out about him." Willie nods, and the two of them join Carolyn in the drawing room.
Everyone is having coffee in the drawing room, and from Harrison's "What an amazing story. Will Daphne be all right?" we know that Carolyn has brought everyone up to date. Carolyn answers that she "hopes so" but that "hearing about Vicky has frightened Daphne." Willie nods agreement, remembering what happened. "Vicky was really nice, y' know?" he says. "I remember how heartbroken Barnabas was when she disappeared..." Angelique gives him a frown and he stops talking. Harrison, though, asks "Barnabas was heartbroken?" and before Angelique can try to control the conversation, Carolyn answers "Yes, he and Vicky were very close. He was very fond of her, I'd even dare say he loved her." She looks at Angelique and says "Oh, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to say anything to hurt you." Angelique forces a smile and says "It's no matter. Whatever Barnabas felt for her is all in the past." "Literally," Harrison muses. "She returned with Bradford to the year 1795 as far as anyone can tell? It sounds like a romantic ending to me." Carolyn says "It wasn't, Harrison. Not if what we learned later was true." Harrison asks what that would be, and Carolyn answers "Somehow....for some reason, I know that she died in a fall off Widow's Hill....I'm not sure why I know that, but I just do." Harrison asks her how she knows that, and Carolyn says "maybe I don't know anything. It was only a fragment of a dream I had back when I was married to Jeb. It's nothing." Harrison pours her another cup of coffee and says "Perhaps if it was only a fragment of a dream, it cannot be trusted," he says.

Episode 1337
Aired: Tuesday August 10, 1971
Quentin takes Daphne into the drawing room and tells her that he and Stokes have something very important to tell her. Quentin looks at Stokes for a moment, and then to Daphne. He simply says "I think we've found out who you really are." She's not sure if she wants to hear it.
After the titles, Daphne questions how she could really be Daphne Harridge if Daphne Harridge died "over a hundred years ago." Stokes explains how Petofi may have "broken the barriers between life and death" by reanimating her soul into a new body. "Other witches and sorcerers have discovered such secrets, Miss Hopkins," Stokes continues. "And it seems to be the strongest possibility in your case." Daphne argues that there's no way to prove it, but Stokes answers "there may be. A long time ago there was a man named Peter Bradford who found his way through time into a new body, with no memory of what had happened to him. I gave him an herb to spark his memory, and he discovered the truth." Quentin asks if Daphne can take the herb as well to know the truth, but Stokes answers "There may be a problem with that, Mr. Collins. You see, after Peter Bradford took the herb, his spirit returned to his life in the past. No one ever saw him again in the twentieth century." Daphne and Quentin are both frightened.
Quentin insists that Daphne is "too real" to fade into the past, but Daphne hesitates. She wonders aloud if it really matters who she is, since she is happy in her life "as it is now." Stokes counters that if her existence "is indeed the result of a spell, we may need to understand that spell in order that it doesn't dissolve." Quentin asks him what that means, and Stokes answers that Daphne might "fade back into the past" even without the herb. "There's no way of knowing for sure." Daphne looks at Quentin, then at Stokes, and says "If you know for sure who I am, will it help you to somehow make sure the spell doesn't dissolve?" Stokes answers "That assumes a spell in the first place, but yes, Miss Hopkins. If you want to take the chance." Daphne says she will.
Carolyn enters the drawing room, and Stokes asks her to stay, since she "can help, since the ritual we are about to undertake works better with more people." Daphne tells Carolyn that Stokes may be able to figure out who she is with the use of a special herb to prod her memory, but that she's "afraid she may fade into the past." Carolyn asks Stokes if this is a wise thing to do. "I remember what happened to Vicky years ago." Daphne asks who Vicky is, and Carolyn tells her that Vicky was once the governess, and then Stokes finishes the story by saying "Miss Winters had formed a link with the Peter Bradford I told you about earlier. She, too, faded into the past with him." Quentin asks Daphne if she still wants to go through with it, and she says yes. Stokes darkens the room, hands her the herb, and begins the ritual. She eats one leaf at a time as Stokes reads instructions from an old book. After the fourth leaf, Stokes asks her how she is feeling, but she starts to go into a trance. Quentin asks her if she is allright, and she faints in his arms. "Daphne!" he yells.
Quentin has seated Daphne on the couch, and she begins to awaken. Stokes shoos Quentin away and asks her who she is. She answers "Daphne Harridge Collins." Stokes asks her what year it is, and she looks around the room saying "No...it's all wrong. This room is different, changed. What year is this?" Stokes answers "1971." Daphne shakes her head and says "No, no... that's impossible." She starts to look at her hands, then she feels her own face. "What's happened to me? I'm young again....my hands...my face...." She suddenly gets up and walks quickly to a mirror on the wall, and is startled to see herself. "How did I get young again? How....." Quentin moves towards her, telling her to calm down. She looks at him and says "Quentin....but you're not Quentin somehow.....I think I remember...." Stokes warns Quentin that the memories are "returning too quickly" and that he may need to give her a sedative. Quentin says "No! She's remembering! That's what this is all about!" Daphne looks around the room and says "I haven't been here in years....I'm at Collinwood....I was at our house in Manhattan, then.....a man, an evil man! I remember his eyes! He looked at me, and I couldn't move! I couldn't move!" Daphne starts to get hysterical, and Carolyn grabs her. "You're okay now, Daphne. Listen to me!" she says. "Anderson! Anderson!" screams Daphne. "How did he take me away? How did he make me young again? No! NO!" Daphne screams and faints into Quentin's arms again. Stokes turns the lights up, and looks Daphne over. Quentin asks if she'll be okay, and Stokes says "Physically she seems fine. But I have no idea the effect of the trauma she's just been through. She now has full conscious memory of her identity as Daphne Harridge Collins."

Episode 1336
Aired: Monday August 9, 1971
In a replay of Friday's close, Harrison is walking in the woods when he hears the sound of footsteps. He turns, and standing behind him is Sarah. "You!" he says. He takes a step towards her, but she takes a step backwards quickly. Harrison starts to bend down, saying "No, please don't go. Don't be afraid of me. I want to talk to you. Is that okay?" Sarah looks at him sternly and only says "You're not supposed to be here" while shaking her head. Harrison looks uncomfortable.
After the titles, Harrison asks Sarah "Where am I supposed to be then?" Sarah says nothing, and Harrison continues "Where are you supposed to be? Maybe I can help you." Sarah insists she isn't lost and says "I know where I live." Harrison asks where, and Sarah simply says "over there" without pointing to anything. "I still don't know your name," Harrison says. "Mine is Harrison. Harrison Collins." Sarah looks at him again and repeats "You're not supposed to be here." Harrison starts to say "Please, you've got to let me try..." when he hears footsteps in back of him. He stands and turns to see who it is, and when he turns back again, Sarah is gone. He moves towards where she was standing and simply says "Gone..." The footsteps in back of him get louder, and he turns to see that it's Angelique. She asks him who he was talking to, and Harrison answers "A little girl was out here. I think she was lost." Angelique gets a bit concerned and says "There aren't any little girls on the estate. She must have been lost." Harrison remarks how she was dressed strangely, in "an old fashioned dress. Have you ever seen anyone like that playing out here? She said she lived nearby." Angelique lies that she hasn't, and changes the subject by asking Harrison to walk her to Collinwood. He happily agrees, and as they walk away, we pan over and see Sarah watching them from behind some trees.
Barnabas arrives at Collinwood and meets up with Quentin in the drawing room. Barnabas asks Quentin if he learned anything about Harrison, and Quentin remarks that he learned that Harrison is "not too bad a fencer." Quentin goes on to explain to Barnabas Harrison's story of his past, and Barnabas says that "it sounds reasonable." Quentin asks Barnabas why he doubts Harrison so much, and Barnabas answers that some of the things Harrison has said and done have been "very strange, as if he already knew about the family before meeting us. Willie discovered that practically all of his clothes were brand new as well." Quentin laughs and says "All that proves is that he wanted to dress to impress the mighty Collins family of Maine." "Perhaps," Barnabas answers. Quentin asks Barnabas if the real reason he distrusts Harrison is because of Harrison's attraction to Angelique. Barnabas admits that "it's something else about the man I don't like." At that moment, Harrison and Angelique arrive, and Barnabas glares at him when he enters.
Barnabas possessively takes Angelique by the hand, though she thanks Harrison for seeing her there. Barnabas thanks him icily and says he needs to talk to "my wife" alone. Harrison goes upstairs, and Barnabas leads Angelique into the drawing room. Angelique tells Barnabas to stop being jealous for a moment, and to listen since "I think Harrison saw Sarah in the woods." Barnabas is stunned to hear this, and asks why she thinks so. She answers that he was talking to a strangely dressed little girl who vanished, so who else could it be? Barnabas wonders why Sarah would appear to Harrison and not him. "Why hasn't she forgiven me? Why must she appear to others, even a near stranger to Collinwood?" he whines. Angelique says she doesn't know, but she didn't want to tell Harrison anything since it "might have betrayed our secrets." Barnabas kisses her as Quentin reenters the room. He tells Angelique he's glad she's here, since "I have to ask you about something that I think you have expertise in." She wonders what he means.
Quentin tells Angelique and Barnabas about Stokes' theory that Daphne may be a reanimated soul from the past. Angelique asks why she would know anything about that, and Quentin answers that "If Petofi had the powers to do that, I thought maybe you would understand those powers since you once had similar ones." Angelique says that "such spells required great power" and that she never attempted one since she wasn't sure if it would work. "Judah Zachary taught me such a spell once, in another time, in another life....I prefer not to think about those days..." she says. Quentin says he needs to know if such spells last, since he's afraid to tell Daphne the truth if it means she will "soon vanish back into the past." Angelique doesn't know how to answer him when Stokes and Daphne arrive. Daphne looks at Quentin and says that Professor Stokes had discovered something "but wanted to wait until we got here so that you could tell me. What could that be?" Barnabas and Angelique excuse themselves, and Daphne wonders why as they leave Collinwood. Quentin looks at Daphne in silence.

Episode 1335
Aired: Friday August 6, 1971
After a replay of Thursday's close and the titles, Harrison stands with the point of the foil at his Adam's apple as he says "Quentin...what are you doing?" Quentin says he's "finding out the truth about you." Harrison answers that he can "hardly speak about anything with death reaching out at my throat." Quentin simply says "Try." Harrison takes a small step back, then suddenly jerks his head away and slaps Quentin's foil away with his own. Surprised, Quentin tries another move, but Harrison is quick and spins Quentin's foil out of his hand! Shocked, Quentin steps back, unarmed as Harrison holds his own foil, but while looking directly at Quentin, he suddenly smiles and drops his foil to the floor. "I'm not your enemy, Quentin, " he says. Quentin answers "I suppose I should be grateful. I wasn't expecting skills like those." Harrison answers "I had a good teacher," before pouring Quentin a drink and continuing "Why do you suddenly doubt me?" Quentin explains how Stokes and he found absolutely nothing about Harrison while researching the New York branch of the family. "The Collins family has a lot of money and property," Quentin continues. "It pays to be careful." Harrison takes a drink and then says "I was hoping I would not have to go into this. But it seems I need to put your mind at ease. Can I trust you with the truth, Quentin?" Quentin smiles.
Harrison tells Quentin that he "did not want to shame the family with his story," and insists that Quentin not tell Roger or Elizabeth what he is about to say. Quentin says he "hopes he won't have to." Harrison continues that his grandfather had "shamed the family and the family name by taking up with a mistress. He spent lavishly on her, driving my grandmother to drink. He gambled the family holdings away, all in front of my father. I'm sure you discovered in your research with Professor Stokes that the Collins family branch I am from seems to evaporate over a generation ago." Quentin says yes. Harrison continues "My father had to change his name in order to get a fresh start in business after the scandal. The scandal was hushed up, kept out of the family history, records, and the papers. no one was the wiser. My own father didn't tell me my true lineage until I was 21. When he died, I looked into my ancestors, and found more pride than shame. I had my name legally changed back to Collins." Quentin is considering all this as Harrison takes out his wallet. He shows Quentin some papers and identifications inside. "Here is my passport, my New York driving license, some other papers that prove what I'm saying." Quentin looks them over and answers "It seems that you may be telling the truth..." Harrison laughs a little and says "Quentin, you're always such a skeptic." Quentin looks at him and Harrison continues "At least that's how Roger describes you. Roger thought I looked like his father, and I've seen the photographs. How could I be an impostor when I resemble the family so?" Quentin nods, and apologizes to Harrison. Quentin says that Harrison should "tell other members of the family so as not to arouse suspicion." Harrison asks "Who else is suspicious of me?" and then adds "Well, I suppose I'll tell them to talk to you." The two men drink together.
At the old house, Barnabas is looking worried when Angelique enters the living room. She tells him not to worry about Nicholas returning, but Barnabas answers that "now that he is back in that house by the sea, he will no doubt continue to vex us whenever he can. I wish I could tell Roger the truth about him." Angelique says there's no need to, since they can fight Nicholas together. "It's you I'm worried about," Barnabas says. "I fear he is using Jeremiah's spirit to get to you....to bring you back under his influence and take you away from me." Angelique hugs Barnabas and answers "He will never do that. You freed me from all of that with your love." Barnabas asks Angelique if Nicholas offered her any "sort of deal," and Angelique lies "No." Barnabas says he must go to Collinwood to talk to Quentin, and tells Angelique he will be back soon. After he leaves, Angelique thinks "How I hate lying to you...but I am afraid that if you know what Nicholas wants, he will use it against you, my love... what can I do?" She repeats out loud "What can I do?" Suddenly, Nicholas is in the room with her. "Yes, what can you do?" he says mockingly. Angelique tells him that he should "go back to where he came from" since she has "no intention of compromising Barnabas and whatever he knows of time." Nicholas says "That's too bad, but I've actually decided on another possible arrangement, that is if you're interested." After a pause, Angelique finally asks, angrily "What?" Nicholas laughs, saying "Now that's the Angelique I remember. I've thought of something better for you to do, my dear. This Harrison Collins fellow intrigues me. I sense powers in him that I don't quite understand." Angelique answers "It seems your senses are going astray. He's a perfectly ordinary man." Nicholas answers "Perhaps, perhaps not. I want you to find out more about him for me. Now I know you can do that. You certainly haven't lost any of your feminine charms, and they are certainly not lost on Harrison from what I've seen." Angelique looks at Nicholas angrily. "How dare you!" she says. Nicholas snaps "If you want to be free of Jeremiah, you will do as I say! Do we have a bargain?" Angelique turns away from him, thinks a moment, then answers "Yes. Now go, get out of here. I'm tired of you!" Nicholas says "I'll go, my dear. It's nice to be back in business with you again." He snickers as he leaves as Angelique glares at him.
Barnabas is walking through the woods on his way to Collinwood when he hears some footsteps. He looks around for a moment, and the noise stops. "Who is there?" he calls. There is no answer, and Barnabas shrugs and continues on. As he turns a corner, he suddenly sees a little girl's doll on the ground. He gasps, picks it up, and says "Sarah!" Barnabas looks around frantically, calling out for Sarah, and then he hears some footsteps again. He excitedly moves towards them, but then is surprised to see that it's Harrison. "Hello Barnabas," Harrison says. "Who were you calling for just now?" Barnabas stutters a bit, and Harrison sees the doll in his hand. "What is that?" he asks. "Oh...." Barnabas says, but before he can answer Harrison says "Did some child lose that in the woods?" Barnabas answers "Yes...I thought I saw a little girl running away, so I was calling to her." Harrison says "Maybe she knows she was trespassing on the Collins property and you scared her away." Barnabas looks sad and answers "Yes, perhaps." Harrison asks Barnabas where he is going, and Barnabas answers he is on his way to see Quentin at Collinwood. "And where are you going tonight?" Barnabas adds. "Just taking a stroll around the grounds. I know how you also find that enjoyable," Harrison answers. "Yes," Barnabas says, and then says he must not keep Quentin waiting. As he leaves, Harrison smiles and thinks "Yes, Barnabas. Don't keep Quentin waiting. He has much to tell you now." Harrison continues walking when he hears the sound of footsteps again. He turns, and standing behind him is Sarah. "You!" he says. He takes a step towards her, but she takes a step backwards quickly. Harrison starts to bend down, saying "No, please don't go. Don't be afraid of me. I want to talk to you. Is that okay?" Sarah looks at him sternly and only says "You're not supposed to be here" while shaking her head. Harrison looks uncomfortable.
After a replay of Thursday's close and the titles, Harrison stands with the point of the foil at his Adam's apple as he says "Quentin...what are you doing?" Quentin says he's "finding out the truth about you." Harrison answers that he can "hardly speak about anything with death reaching out at my throat." Quentin simply says "Try." Harrison takes a small step back, then suddenly jerks his head away and slaps Quentin's foil away with his own. Surprised, Quentin tries another move, but Harrison is quick and spins Quentin's foil out of his hand! Shocked, Quentin steps back, unarmed as Harrison holds his own foil, but while looking directly at Quentin, he suddenly smiles and drops his foil to the floor. "I'm not your enemy, Quentin, " he says. Quentin answers "I suppose I should be grateful. I wasn't expecting skills like those." Harrison answers "I had a good teacher," before pouring Quentin a drink and continuing "Why do you suddenly doubt me?" Quentin explains how Stokes and he found absolutely nothing about Harrison while researching the New York branch of the family. "The Collins family has a lot of money and property," Quentin continues. "It pays to be careful." Harrison takes a drink and then says "I was hoping I would not have to go into this. But it seems I need to put your mind at ease. Can I trust you with the truth, Quentin?" Quentin smiles.
Harrison tells Quentin that he "did not want to shame the family with his story," and insists that Quentin not tell Roger or Elizabeth what he is about to say. Quentin says he "hopes he won't have to." Harrison continues that his grandfather had "shamed the family and the family name by taking up with a mistress. He spent lavishly on her, driving my grandmother to drink. He gambled the family holdings away, all in front of my father. I'm sure you discovered in your research with Professor Stokes that the Collins family branch I am from seems to evaporate over a generation ago." Quentin says yes. Harrison continues "My father had to change his name in order to get a fresh start in business after the scandal. The scandal was hushed up, kept out of the family history, records, and the papers. no one was the wiser. My own father didn't tell me my true lineage until I was 21. When he died, I looked into my ancestors, and found more pride than shame. I had my name legally changed back to Collins." Quentin is considering all this as Harrison takes out his wallet. He shows Quentin some papers and identifications inside. "Here is my passport, my New York driving license, some other papers that prove what I'm saying." Quentin looks them over and answers "It seems that you may be telling the truth..." Harrison laughs a little and says "Quentin, you're always such a skeptic." Quentin looks at him and Harrison continues "At least that's how Roger describes you. Roger thought I looked like his father, and I've seen the photographs. How could I be an impostor when I resemble the family so?" Quentin nods, and apologizes to Harrison. Quentin says that Harrison should "tell other members of the family so as not to arouse suspicion." Harrison asks "Who else is suspicious of me?" and then adds "Well, I suppose I'll tell them to talk to you." The two men drink together.
At the old house, Barnabas is looking worried when Angelique enters the living room. She tells him not to worry about Nicholas returning, but Barnabas answers that "now that he is back in that house by the sea, he will no doubt continue to vex us whenever he can. I wish I could tell Roger the truth about him." Angelique says there's no need to, since they can fight Nicholas together. "It's you I'm worried about," Barnabas says. "I fear he is using Jeremiah's spirit to get to you....to bring you back under his influence and take you away from me." Angelique hugs Barnabas and answers "He will never do that. You freed me from all of that with your love." Barnabas asks Angelique if Nicholas offered her any "sort of deal," and Angelique lies "No." Barnabas says he must go to Collinwood to talk to Quentin, and tells Angelique he will be back soon. After he leaves, Angelique thinks "How I hate lying to you...but I am afraid that if you know what Nicholas wants, he will use it against you, my love... what can I do?" She repeats out loud "What can I do?" Suddenly, Nicholas is in the room with her. "Yes, what can you do?" he says mockingly. Angelique tells him that he should "go back to where he came from" since she has "no intention of compromising Barnabas and whatever he knows of time." Nicholas says "That's too bad, but I've actually decided on another possible arrangement, that is if you're interested." After a pause, Angelique finally asks, angrily "What?" Nicholas laughs, saying "Now that's the Angelique I remember. I've thought of something better for you to do, my dear. This Harrison Collins fellow intrigues me. I sense powers in him that I don't quite understand." Angelique answers "It seems your senses are going astray. He's a perfectly ordinary man." Nicholas answers "Perhaps, perhaps not. I want you to find out more about him for me. Now I know you can do that. You certainly haven't lost any of your feminine charms, and they are certainly not lost on Harrison from what I've seen." Angelique looks at Nicholas angrily. "How dare you!" she says. Nicholas snaps "If you want to be free of Jeremiah, you will do as I say! Do we have a bargain?" Angelique turns away from him, thinks a moment, then answers "Yes. Now go, get out of here. I'm tired of you!" Nicholas says "I'll go, my dear. It's nice to be back in business with you again." He snickers as he leaves as Angelique glares at him.
Barnabas is walking through the woods on his way to Collinwood when he hears some footsteps. He looks around for a moment, and the noise stops. "Who is there?" he calls. There is no answer, and Barnabas shrugs and continues on. As he turns a corner, he suddenly sees a little girl's doll on the ground. He gasps, picks it up, and says "Sarah!" Barnabas looks around frantically, calling out for Sarah, and then he hears some footsteps again. He excitedly moves towards them, but then is surprised to see that it's Harrison. "Hello Barnabas," Harrison says. "Who were you calling for just now?" Barnabas stutters a bit, and Harrison sees the doll in his hand. "What is that?" he asks. "Oh...." Barnabas says, but before he can answer Harrison says "Did some child lose that in the woods?" Barnabas answers "Yes...I thought I saw a little girl running away, so I was calling to her." Harrison says "Maybe she knows she was trespassing on the Collins property and you scared her away." Barnabas looks sad and answers "Yes, perhaps."

Episode 1334
Aired: Thursday August 5, 1971
At Stokes' house, Stokes is gathering some books together. He pours himself a sherry and takes a long thoughtful drink. Quentin enters, saying "Well, here I am. You said you had found something interesting. What is it?" Stokes answers "Now now, Mr. Collins! Such a rush! Please, have a sherry with me first." Quentin says that as much as he hates to refuse a drink, he must know what Stokes has discovered immediately. Stokes tells him that he may need to take that drink when he hears. Quentin raises an eyebrow.
After the titles, Stokes tells Quentin that he has done more research on the life of Count Petofi. Quentin asks what that has to do with Daphne, and Stokes tells him to sit down and be patient, "I will tell you in due time." Stokes goes on to explain how Petofi had amassed "tremendous power in the realm of the occult" and that he had "even gained power over the line between life and death." Quentin asks again what this has to do with Daphne, and Stokes continues "I believe Petofi had tapped into the fundamental forces of life and death, and could control them at will. There was a tract I discovered, from long ago, describing various rituals practiced by sorcerers similar to Petofi. One such ritual involved the reanimation of dead souls." Quentin reflects on "dead souls" for a moment, while Stokes continues. "When we traveled to New York, we found that the Daphne Harridge of the nineteenth century, the woman invoked under hypnosis by the Daphne we know now, bore a striking resemblance to the Daphne we know now." Quentin asks what Stokes is saying, and Stokes answers "I think you know perfectly well. I am theorizing that Petofi somehow brought Daphne Harridge Collins back to life."
Quentin tells Stokes he thinks "that's impossible." Stokes answers "Is it?" and goes on to give a quick re-cap of all the powers Petofi had as both sorcerer and vampire. He also says it would explain Daphne's lack of memory from before her arrival in Collinsport, her reaction under hypnosis, and "almost all other mystery surrounding her." Quentin asks what Stokes means by "almost" and Stokes answers that "the one remaining question is why. Why Daphne Harridge Collins?" Quentin answers that Petofi "seemed to be" targeting him, and since he is the namesake of "that Quentin Collins, it might explain the connection." Stokes answers "Perhaps, but it doesn't explain why Petofi would be targeting you in the first place." Quentin says that he has no idea why, but Stokes looks like he's thinking.
Quentin is getting ready to leave Stokes' house when he remembers to ask if Stokes has found out anything more about Harrison's relation to the New York branch of the family. Stokes says there is "nothing." Quentin wonders aloud to Stokes if Harrison is some "sort of impostor." Stokes replies "Didn't Mrs. Stoddard and Mr. Roger Collins feel he resembled their father? This would make him out to be quite a unique impostor." Quentin answers that there's still something about Harrison that "makes him uncomfortable." Stokes says he'll keep researching. Back at Collinwood, Daphne comes downstairs as Quentin returns. She gives him a welcoming kiss, but he seems afraid to tell her something. She asks him what Stokes had discovered about her, and Quentin dodges the question for a while until Daphne insists that he tell her. "I'm not afraid, Quentin. If you know anything about who I am, please tell me." Quentin makes a remark about a "silly old man with an insane theory," but after more pressure from Daphne, Quentin finally tells her what Stokes thinks. "Then he thinks I'm really dead," Daphne answers. Quentin takes her into his arms and insists "No, no, you are very much alive. And you're going to stay that way, no matter who you are." Daphne holds him and says that she hopes so, but begs Quentin not to let her go.
Daphne parts from Quentin to go upstairs to sleep as Harrison enters the room. Daphne says good night to him nervously and runs upstairs. Harrison asks Quentin if anything is wrong with Daphne, and Quentin answers that "it's nothing you can help with." Harrison offers his help anyway, and Quentin snaps back "Professor Stokes seems to think that Daphne may have a connection to one of your ancestors. One of the people from the New York branch of the Collins family. You're familiar with that branch of the family, aren't you?" Harrison laughs and says that he ought to be. Quentin walks to the wall and examines one of the two fencing foils on display. "And I understand you've been reading up a lot on this branch of the family as well," Quentin says. Harrison stands by Quentin and the foils and answers yes. "You're quite a curious fellow, Harrison," Quentin says handing him a fencing foil. "Here. Take this. I hate having an advantage over an unarmed man." Harrison takes the foil but says to Quentin "I don't know what you mean." Quentin takes the other foil from the wall and slaps at Harrison's foil before placing the point at his throat and demanding "You don't know what I mean, and I don't know who you are. Perhaps you'll give me an honest answer now. Who are you really, Mr. Harrison Collins?" Harrison gulps with the point of the foil at his throat.

Episode 1333
Aired: Wednesday August 4, 1971
After a replay of Tuesday's close and the titles, Harrison glares at Willie and asks him what he's doing. Willie nervously drops the book and tells Harrison "you really scared me there!" Harrison asks Willie again what he's doing there, and Willie answers that he was looking for the blueprints to Collinwood since he was "thinkin' of restorin' parts of the house. Ya know? Like I did for Barnabas at the old house. I was thinkin' since I'm the caretaker now, that Mrs. Stoddard might like some of the older rooms upstairs fixed up." Harrison asks Willie how he knew that he had the blueprints, and Willie lies that Carolyn told him. "So, you're really interested in the family history, huh?" Willie adds. Harrison says he is, and "that it seems I'm not the only one with curiosity." Willie gulps.
Willie is coming down the stairs quickly. He is about to leave through the front door when there is a knock. Willie answers it, and sees that it's Nicholas. "You!" Willie says, terrified. "What are you doin' back here?" Nicholas walks in with a smile and answers "Now that's hardly a friendly greeting, Mr. Loomis. Why don't you just simply say 'Hello, Mr. Blair, it's so good to see you again after all this time.'" Willie answers that he doesn't know how good it is. Nicholas laughs a little and asks to see Roger, but Roger has already come out of the drawing room and greets Nicholas with "Nicholas Blair! It's been so long since we've seen you here!" Nicholas walks by Willie, who leaves, and tells Roger that "after traveling all around the world, I've decided that I actually loved living in Collinsport best of all." Roger smiles and thanks Nicholas for his graciousness, and invites him into the drawing room for a drink. Nicholas continues to lie about where he's been, and eventually comes around to mentioning the house by the sea that he had originally rented from Roger. Roger tells him it's still empty and "yours if you want it again. I'm sure Liz will have no problems with you staying there as before." Nicholas raises his glass to Roger and thanks him, mentioning that "it will feel good to settle in again."
At the old house, Willie tells Barnabas what he found in Harrison's room. Barnabas is curious why all of Harrison's clothes were new, and he and Willie try to figure out the meaning behind this when Angelique enters the room. Willie tells them that Harrison was also reading the family history, and that he had bookmarked the page about Barnabas and Jeremiah. Barnabas and Angelique look at each other scared, and Barnabas wonders if Harrison has anything to do with Jeremiah "somehow." Angelique says she's sure he doesn't, and asks Willie to leave her and Barnabas alone. Willie insists he has to tell Barnabas "somethin' else! Somethin' much more important! Now you gotta listen to me!" Barnabas tells him to calm down and just tell him, but then there is a knock at the door. Barnabas answers it and sees that it's Nicholas. "Blair!" he gasps.
Nicholas enters the old house and sarcastically congratulates Barnabas and Angelique on their marriage. "I suppose this makes you my brother in law of sorts, Barnabas," Nicholas says. Barnabas snaps "Angelique has nothing to do with you, Blair. And I would loathe to consider you part of my family." Willie smiles and Barnabas waves him away. As Willie leaves, Nicholas looks around the room and says "And how is the family, Mr. Collins?" Barnabas sneers "Now I know it's you, Blair. I know that you're the one who is controlling Jeremiah. Don't think for a moment that I'm afraid of you." Nicholas sneers back "Don't you think for a moment that I haven't lost my powers." As the two square off, there is another knock at the door. Angelique answers it, and it's Harrison, who asks to come in. Barnabas sees him and asks him what he wants. Nicholas interrupts to say "Excuse me, I haven't had the pleasure..." and Harrison introduces himself to Nicholas with a handshake. Harrison continues to tell Barnabas "I want you to know that your servant was searching around my room earlier today." Barnabas feigns surprise, and says "Why would he be doing that?" Harrison skeptically answers "I'm sure you're as much in the dark as I am. He claimed to be searching for the blueprints I was studying, but I think he was looking through some of my personal possessions for some reasons. I understand that before you employed him, he was not of the finest character." Barnabas answers that Willie has changed since "those days" and is "completely trustworthy." Angelique tells Harrison that she "will speak to Willie. I'm sure he would not be able to refuse me the truth." Harrison smiles at Angelique and says "I'm sure no one could refuse you anything." Barnabas scowls at Harrison's flirting, and Nicholas notices Barnabas' anger with curiosity.

Episode 1332
Aired: Tuesday August 3, 1971
After a replay of Monday's close and the titles, Jeremiah has hauled Angie in front of Nicholas. He tells her that she needs "to be reminded of the awesome dark powers I hold." Angelique demands to know what he wants. Nicholas tells her that he will tell her more "in due time" but if she wants to be "free of Jeremiah forever" she must "learn the secrets of time that Barnabas has discovered." Angelique cowers at this prospect as Jeremiah releases her. We cut back to Collinwood. Quentin and Stokes arrive, back from their New York trip. Stokes has a briefcase filled with papers, and remarks how "researching all these materials we found with what I have from the Collinsport archives may take a while." Quentin says they "might need to hurry" since he has no idea how any of it might affect Daphne. "But one thing is for sure," he adds. "I must speak to Barnabas....about our newly arrived cousin...."
At the old house, Willie answers Quentin's knock and brings him into the living room, where Barnabas is reading. Barnabas asks him if he found out anything more about Daphne in New York, and Quentin says that they "brought back a wealth of material on the branch of the Collins family my namesake started in the 1840s. Stokes will need some time to sift through it all." Barnabas says he hopes for the best, but Quentin adds "But I came to discuss a more pressing matter. Our so-called cousin Harrison." Barnabas is intrigued. "Harrison?" he says. "Did you discover anything about him?" "No," says Quentin. "Nothing at all. And that is the mystery." Barnabas asks him what he means, and Quentin answers that despite all the volumes of records they examined, "there is no record of a Harrison Collins. It seems that most of the family retaining the Collins name died childless at least a generation ago." "Then how..." Barnabas begins, but Quentin cuts him off. "Don't you mean 'who,' Barnabas? That's what I'd like to know. Just who is Harrison Collins?" Barnabas thinks about this question.
Barnabas says that "there must be some kind of logical explanation as to who he is." Quentin says maybe, and adds "He seems fond of Angelique. Perhaps she could find out more about him..." but Barnabas snaps "No, that wouldn't be the best way. I think it would be better if we found someone he would take less notice of." Barnabas looks over towards Willie and simply says "Willie, I have a task for you at Collinwood." Willie doesn't look thrilled as we cut to Angelique walking up the path to the old house. We hear her thinking "I cannot allow Nicholas to discover the secrets of time....with those powers at his disposal, he could wreak too much destruction. To think that once I desired such powers....how could Barnabas love me? How can I keep this from him and deceive him..." as she is thinking, Willie comes out the door. He excuses himself and says he has to go up to Collinwood. Barnabas sees Angelique and asks her where she's been as she comes inside. She says she's been out for a walk after talking with Liz. Barnabas looks at her concerned, and asks "Are you all right? You seem worried about something." She pauses a moment, but then simply says "I'm fine. Really." Barnabas wonders.
At Collinwood, Willie has sneaked into Harrison's room. He starts to look around, and starts by opening a wardrobe. He starts to look through some of the pockets of Harrison's clothes, but then notices that some of them have price tags attached. Willie runs his fingers over the fabric and thinks a moment. "These clothes....are all brand new...." he thinks to himself. After a shrug, he starts to examine the material on the desk in the room. He unrolls the blueprint of Collinwood, and then sees there is a bookmark in the large Collins history book on the desk. Willie thinks "The plans of the house and the history of the family....what is he so interested in it for anyways? He marked where he was readin'....let's see....." Willie opens the book and his eyes open wider as he thinks "He's reading about Barnabas! All about his parents and family and all the lies about how he went to England....why?" As Willie is reading the book and thinking this, he doesn't notice that Harrison has entered the room behind him. Harrison slams the door to get Willie's attention, and he spins around with a shocked look on his face as Harrison glares at him.

Quentin says they "might need to hurry" since he has no idea how any of it might affect Daphne. "But one thing is for sure," he adds. "I must speak to Barnabas....about our newly arrived cousin...."
At the old house, Willie answers Quentin's knock and brings him into the living room, where Barnabas is reading. Barnabas asks him if he found out anything more about Daphne in New York, and Quentin says that they "brought back a wealth of material on the branch of the Collins family my namesake started in the 1840s. Stokes will need some time to sift through it all." Barnabas says he hopes for the best, but Quentin adds "But I came to discuss a more pressing matter. Our so-called cousin Harrison." Barnabas is intrigued. "Harrison?" he says. "Did you discover anything about him?" "No," says Quentin. "Nothing at all. And that is the mystery." Barnabas asks him what he means, and Quentin answers that despite all the volumes of records they examined, "there is no record of a Harrison Collins. It seems that most of the family retaining the Collins name died childless at least a generation ago." "Then how..." Barnabas begins, but Quentin cuts him off. "Don't you mean 'who,' Barnabas? That's what I'd like to know. Just who is Harrison Collins?" Barnabas thinks about this question.
Barnabas says that "there must be some kind of logical explanation as to who he is." Quentin says maybe, and adds "He seems fond of Angelique. Perhaps she could find out more about him..." but Barnabas snaps "No, that wouldn't be the best way. I think it would be better if we found someone he would take less notice of." Barnabas looks over towards Willie and simply says "Willie, I have a task for you at Collinwood." Willie doesn't look thrilled as we cut to Angelique walking up the path to the old house. We hear her thinking "I cannot allow Nicholas to discover the secrets of time....with those powers at his disposal, he could wreak too much destruction. To think that once I desired such powers....how could Barnabas love me? How can I keep this from him and deceive him..." as she is thinking, Willie comes out the door. He excuses himself and says he has to go up to Collinwood. Barnabas sees Angelique and asks her where she's been as she comes inside. She says she's been out for a walk after talking with Liz. Barnabas looks at her concerned, and asks "Are you all right? You seem worried about something." She pauses a moment, but then simply says "I'm fine. Really." Barnabas wonders.
At Collinwood, Willie has sneaked into Harrison's room. He starts to look around, and starts by opening a wardrobe. He starts to look through some of the pockets of Harrison's clothes, but then notices that some of them have price tags attached. Willie runs his fingers over the fabric and thinks a moment. "These clothes....are all brand new...." he thinks to himself. After a shrug, he starts to examine the material on the desk in the room. He unrolls the blueprint of Collinwood, and then sees there is a bookmark in the large Collins history book on the desk. Willie thinks "The plans of the house and the history of the family....what is he so interested in it for anyways? He marked where he was readin'....let's see....." Willie opens the book and his eyes open wider as he thinks "He's reading about Barnabas! All about his parents and family and all the lies about how he went to England....why?" As Willie is reading the book and thinking this, he doesn't notice that Harrison has entered the room behind him. Harrison slams the door to get Willie's attention, and he spins around with a shocked look on his face as Harrison glares at him.

Episode 1331
Aired: Monday August 2, 1971
In a replay of Friday's close, Angelique, following Jeremiah's ghost, approaches the outside of the Eagle Hill cemetery thinking "Do you return to your grave each night? No, you can't. Why wouldn't you stay there?" She follows inside, as we see Jeremiah walk to the foot of his grave before stopping. Angelique watches him for a moment, and then we hear the sound of someone else approaching. Angelique peers from behind a tree to see who it is - and then we see the familiar smiling face of Nicholas Blair standing in front of Jeremiah, chuckling quietly to himself. Angelique's eyes are open wide as she sees this, thinking "Nicholas! Nicholas Blair!"
After the titles, Angelique watches as Nicholas commands Jeremiah "You are in my power. I have brought you back from the land of the dead, and I will summon you again. Return to your grave for now, Jeremiah....return....." Jeremiah starts to fade away into nothingness. Angelique thinks "Nicholas has raised Jeremiah. Perhaps it was even he who controlled him back in 1795....but for what purpose? Why does Nicholas want to do this?" Angelique steps on a branch, and the sound of the crack gets Nicholas' attention. He calls "Who is there?" as Angelique starts to run away. Nicholas catches a glimpse of her blonde hair and smiles. He calls to her "Angelique! Why do you run from me? After all, am I not your brother?" He begins to laugh as Angelique continues to run, but as she turns a corner, Nicholas suddenly is in front of her. He grabs her by the shoulders and says "Please, my dear. Don't leave me alone out here. I find graveyards positively frightening!" Back at Collinwood, Roger is going over some books in the study when Alan enters. For the first time that we've seen, Roger smiles at him and offers him a drink. Alan asks Roger how his work is going, and Roger complains about the "drudgery" of it all. Alan says "I have a feeling you have a good sense of the real estate market in Collinwood." Roger says he thinks he does, and asks Alan why. Alan answers that he's looking for office space, since he's thinking of moving his practice here.
Angelique demands to know why Nicholas has raised Jeremiah. Nicholas laughs and says "Jeremiah? Who would that be?" Angelique says "You know very well what I mean," with a scowl. "Barnabas told me you were dead," she adds. "Something I still owe him for," Nicholas answers. "But our master has taken good care of me. You remember our master, don't you my dear?" Angelique turns away from him and says "That is no longer my life, Nicholas. I have what I want now. And if you remember, what I have now is what your master promised would make me human again." Nicholas laughs, and answers "You are making the mistake of thinking that everything is permanent." He begins to walk around her as he adds "You should know better than anyone else how quickly things can change, especially after you arrived here through your tricks of time." Angelique is shocked to hear that he knows this, but he continues "Those are secrets I would very much like to know more about, my dear." Angelique answers that she will not make any "deals" with him, and that "despite whatever powers the master has given you, I will find a way to stop you. What powers have you got this time, Nicholas? And is it your last time? Your last chance on Earth before your master tires of you and your failures?" Nicholas turns to glare angrily at her. "Oh, you have not lost your insolence, have you?" She sneers at him.
Roger asks Alan why he would give up such a "thriving practice in Boston," and Alan answers that he can still consult cases in Boston, and that he was thinking of moving towards retirement anyway. Roger asks him if that's really the only reason, and Alan smiles and answers "Well, I also want to stay close to Liz. Spending time with her these past few weeks has been wonderful. And, there's really no medical reason for me to continue on here. I suppose you'll be pleased to know that her recovery is complete. She'll be fine now." Roger says he's happy to hear that. Alan says that he thinks it "would be more proper" for him to "find some property in town" so that he won't impose on the family anymore. Roger says "Nonsense!" and invites him to stay at Collinwood until he "contacts some property agents about where you'd like to set your offices up." Alan thanks him for his help.
Angelique is still needling Nicholas about all the times he's failed "his master" and Nicholas demands that she be silent. She goes on how she is free from obligations to "dark forces" since her "success in love" has "mastered" them. He scowls at her that "since you are now mortal, you have much to fear from me." She simply says "Do I?" and begins to walk away. Nicholas thinks to himself "Oh yes, you do my dear.....and I think it's time you realized that...." He walks back to Jeremiah's grave as a flash of lightning lights the stone. "Jeremiah Collins!" he calls. "I have need of you....I demand that you appear to me...." With another flash of lightning, Jeremiah's ghost materializes. Nicholas looks at him and simply says "Fetch her for me." Jeremiah leaves as Nicholas smiles. In another part of the woods, Angelique is moving back towards the old house thinking "I must tell Barnabas about Nicholas! Certainly he and the family can help me...." but as she moves around a tree, she suddenly faces Jeremiah's ghost, who lunges at her, grabbing her by the arms. She starts to scream.

Episode 1330
Aired: Friday July 30, 1971
After a replay of Thursday's close and the titles, Jeremiah stands before Harrison. Harrison takes a step back, but Jeremiah does nothing. Harrison seems to lose his fear as he looks Jeremiah over. "Who are you?" he asks, but Jeremiah says nothing. "Your clothes....late 18th or early 19th century, I would think," says Harrison. "Jeremiah steps forward with his hands out, and Harrison steps back saying "No! Get back!" and Jeremiah stops. "I don't know who you are, and I have no quarrel with you. If you consider this part of the house yours and me an intruder, then let me apologize and be on my way." Jeremiah points to the rolled up blueprint and vanishes. Harrison takes a deep sigh of relief, and then thinks a moment before unrolling the blueprint. He reads aloud "Collinwood....completed in the year of our lord 1795 to the specifications of....Jeremiah Collins." He rolls up the blueprint and begins to look around the hallway repeating "Jeremiah Collins!"
Angelique and Liz are having some tea in the drawing room. Angelique tells Liz how much she "loves Barnabas' family" and how happy she is to be living there. Liz remarks how happy she is "for the both of them. Barnabas always seemed such an incurable romantic, I'm so happy he's found happiness with you." Harrison comes down the stairs and is about to pass by the drawing room en route to the library, but sees Angelique and invites himself in. He says hello, and she gets a little uncomfortable. Liz asks Harrison what the rolled up paper under his arm is, and he tells her how he was studying the blueprints of Collinwood "since this magnificent house fascinates me so." Liz says that she's lived there so long, it may have lost some of its mystery to her. Harrison says it's all new to him, and Liz offers him some tea. Harrison says no thanks, since he wants to read a little of the family history in the library. "Are you reading more about the house or the family?" Angelique asks. "A little of both, I suppose," Harrison answers. "I'd like to read more about the man who built this house in the first place, about his life and perhaps the reasons he made some of the architectural decisions he made." Harrison unrolls the paper and reads from it "Jeremiah Collins," before looking at Liz and Angelique and asking "Do you know much about him?" Angelique is not thrilled with the question.
Liz says "Jeremiah Collins! One of our distant ancestors. He designed and built Collinwood, as far as I know." Angelique gets uncomfortable as Liz continues "I know he married once when he was young, to a woman who died in a fire. He remarried, before he died, to Josette Collins, I think. Actually, Barnabas is the one you should be asking about all this. Whatever you can't find in the family histories, he's certainly an expert on." Harrison replies "Really? Perhaps I will discuss it with him." Angelique puts her tea down and simply says "I must be going, I'm sorry." Liz asks Angelique if she is all right, and Angelique fibs that she is tired. Angelique leaves in a hurry, and Liz wonders what might have made her so upset all of a sudden. Harrison says he wonders as well, and then Liz tells him she'll show him where the books he's looking for are in the library. Angelique gets outside the front door and closes it behind her, shaken that Harrison could bring up Jeremiah and the past. She starts to hear the sounds of someone walking in the woods, and as she moves away from the house to see who it is, her eyes open wide as she looks through some tree branches....and sees Jeremiah walking away through the woods.
Angelique thinks "Jeremiah....your very name is enough to bring back untold amounts of misery...but you're not here for me, it seems..." She watches as Jeremiah continues to walk away through the woods, oblivious to her. "I will discover your secret," she thinks to herself as she begins to follow him. He continues walking through the woods, only focused on moving ahead. Angelique follows behind him, being careful not to be discovered. After a while, we see that Jeremiah has reached Eagle Hill cemetery. Angelique approaches the outside of the cemetery thinking "Do you return to your grave each night? No, you can't. Why wouldn't you stay there?" She follows inside, as we see Jeremiah walk to the foot of his grave before stopping.
